Ian and Samantha sat next to each other as they anxiously waited for what their father, Richardo Lim, had to say.
Their family history had always been a complicated one. The Lims had never been clean, they had always clawed their way up to the top, but Ian thought he knew all of the dark and shocking truths. He never expected something as big as this one to come to the surface.
"Your grandfather was a friend to the old dictator and his most ardent financers." Richardo Lim explained.
"So grandpa was part of the founding members of the Rajas?" Ian asked.
"Well the answer to that is much more complicated, it seemed that he was, but he wasn't." Richardo explained to his children.
"Dad, are you trying to confuse us?" Samantha asked her father as she leaned forward and gripped the edges of the couch she was seated on.
Ian placed a hand on his sister's shoulder to calm her. Of his two sisters, Samantha had always been the more hot headed one.
